Mrs. Hill pulled out her trump card. "You had to divorce that sickly girl. She is a disaster, a curse. I won't allow you to have any further contact with her. If you don't divorce her, then mother will die right in front of you," Mrs. Hill shouted.Nathan held her shoulders and said, "Mom, calm down. The way I am today has nothing to do with Victoria. In fact, from the very beginning, Dad never loved me. He used me as a stepping stone for his illegitimate child... Even if I didn't get a divorce, he would find other faults and kick me out of the Hill Group. I heard this with my own ears..."Mrs. Hill was dumbfounded."What did you say?" She could hardly believe it, the man who had shared the same bed with her for years, could be so heartless towards her and her child.Mrs. Hill's originally lively eyes turned dull and lifeless. Nathan realized something was wrong, but his words had already been spoken and could not be taken back."Mom, believe me, I was able to retrieve what belongs to
At that moment, Thea's mind went blank.She no longer had so many worldly concerns. She held Theo tightly, and with some unknown strength, her small body pushed through the crowd, pulling Theo away from the turmoil.Her ears were filled with the furious shouting of her ex-father-in-law and ex-mother-in-law. The ex-mother-in-law's voice was like a tearing scream, roaring angrily, "I married you for thirty years, I devoted my dowry, time, and energy to you without reservation, and what did I get in return? I got your betrayal. I could forgive you for kicking me out of the house, but you shouldn't have wickedly plotted against our son, making him work for your illegitimate child and then kicking him out of the company. How could your heart be so cruel?"Alaric's face was filled with fear, and his voice trembled as he spoke, "Don't be impulsive. Listen to me, Nathan is also my son. How could I treat him like that? Don't worry, I will give Nathan a lot of money to start afresh. With his in
Thea paused for a moment, a proud expression on her face. "Hmph, I knew that troublemaker. He was a thug from this street, involved in stealing, robbing, and trafficking. He had been in jail several times. I even suspect that this child was kidnapped by him."Theo couldn't help but nod, "Sister is really smart."Thea became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes sparkling and her gestures animated. "I really liked that child, so I genuinely wanted to save him from the bottom of my heart. So, I had a sudden inspiration and I stepped forward, pointing at that child and saying he was my brother.""That thug was afraid that I would ruin his plan, and he glared at me fiercely, threatening me: 'Little beggar, don't falsely claim to be my brother. You don't look anything like us...'""I stood with my hands on my hips: Who says siblings have to look alike? I look like my mom, and my little brother looks like my dad. We were poor at home, and my parents were not in good health, so my bro
Upon hearing this terrible news, Nathan's entire spine seemed to collapse, and he instantly hunched over significantly.Guillermo advised him, "Nathan, your mother committed intentional harm, which could lead to imprisonment. If she goes to jail, it will greatly affect your future. In my opinion, you should quickly go and plead with your father and the victims, asking them to provide letters of forgiveness. Perhaps the court can privately mediate the conflict, which is the best option."Nathan did wake up, he gratefully nodded at Guillermo, and then turned around and ran away at top speed.Hospital.Nathan inquired from various sources and learned that all the injured individuals had been taken to the Capital Aesthetic Institute. This hospital was located near the Hill family villa, and their expertise in treating various injuries was also unparalleled in the country.In the name of visiting his father, Nathan inquired at the front desk about Alaric's ward. Then he hurriedly made his
"Thea, can I talk to you alone for a moment?" Nathan spoke to Thea for the first time in such a gentle tone.Thea, however, was unappreciative. "There was no need." Her tone was cold and harsh.Nathan looked sincere and said, "I just wanted to say sorry to you."Thea looked at Nathan coldly, her gaze sharp as if it could penetrate his soul. She exposed his falsehood, saying, "Nathan, you were never genuinely sorry. You just wanted to seek my forgiveness so that your mother could receive a reduced sentence or even be exempted."Nathan felt a slight guilt being exposed, but he looked at Thea with relief instead, as if he was certain that the kind-hearted Thea would definitely help him fulfill his wish."Thea, my mother, after all, was once your mother-in-law and took care of you. Can you forgive her for the sake of this relationship?"Unfortunately, Nathan didn't understand Thea well enough.If it were the Thea from the past, perhaps she was indeed a confused fool without principles, al
Then, the boss's expression towards Nathan changed from admiration and envy to disdain and contempt. The boss's attitude towards Nathan's service became noticeably poor. The tone in which he spoke to him became even more indifferent."The person who betrays sincerity should swallow ten thousand silver needles," the boss muttered to himself at the bar. But it was clearly said for Nathan to hear. Nathan's face turned gloomy.Victoria felt that her boss was weird and couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "This person is sick."The voice was neither loud nor soft, but the boss heard it.The boss ignored her, but her gaze towards Nathan was filled with pity and sympathy. "I thought you had found some amazing person, but I didn't expect it to be just this kind of thing. How could it make you abandon such a good ex-girlfriend?"If she knew that Isabella and Nathan had been married before, she would probably sigh even more for Nathan.Nathan's originally vibrant heart, just like suddenly
Thea's beautiful face, devoid of color.It had been a long, long time since anyone had humiliated her like this.Unfortunately, when Master Sanchez humiliated her, his tone was still very calm, as if he was talking about something completely normal.But is it fair for her to be treated as inferior just because she had a single kidney, got divorced, and had difficulty conceiving?She floated in her body, biting her lip, making her spine straighter. She coldly told Master Sanchez, "Mr. Sanchez, perhaps in your eyes, Thea was born humble and her experiences were tumultuous, making her insignificant. But in my eyes, I have been independent and strong since childhood..."She raised her thin but powerful hands. "My life today, I have earned it through hard work with my own hands. I have no mean thoughts of relying on the powerful and influential.""Was Mr. Sanchez's criticism unfair?"Master Sanchez, accustomed to being in a high position, was surrounded by people who flattered him, and the
Jewel's face visibly darkened. How could she, who was so proud, be willing to be compared to Thea? Boldly and passionately, she grabbed Theo's hand and pressed his cold palm against her face. Blinking her innocent eyes, she pleaded with Theo, "Theo, I like you. I really like you. I want to marry you. Can you please not be nice to other women in the future? It will make me jealous."Theo silently withdrew his hand, his tone filled with distant indifference. "Jewel, you should go and like someone else. Don't waste your time on me, it's pointless."Jewel widened her eyes, and tears welled up in her eyes. She said with a look of grievance, "Theo, do you really love Thea sister?"Theo remained silent, sinking into a long-lasting silence.Jewel exclaimed excitedly, "Where am I inferior to her? They all say she has been married, had a miscarriage, and may even have difficulty conceiving in the future. The Sanchez would never agree to you marrying her."Theo's face turned pale. "Who told you
Samuel howled, "But I didn't want to accept it."It was late.Drake came in holding a roster. He opened the roster, which had photos of the blind date participants - some with makeup, some without, as well as candid shots and work photos. It also contained the archival records of the individuals from birth until now."Please take a look."Kassidy eagerly took the boys' roster, while Samuel held the girls' roster and they both started flipping through them."Wow. They're all so good." Kassidy exclaimed enthusiastically, "So handsome and talented... I like every one of them. Except for this rich young man... What a nickname, 'Foodie'? This photo must have been photoshopped, definitely a chubby person..."She threw the roster to Drake, "Everyone except him."Drake smirked.Samuel pouted and said, "This chest is too small.""This hair color was too yellow." "This leg was a bit thick.""This waist would be perfect if i
Eric returned home and only then did he realize that his mother, Hana, had already been discharged from the hospital. Ingrid's attitude towards him had become much colder. In fact, she even showed a hint of disgust towards him."Eric, where have you been hiding these days when mom had a car accident and was hospitalized?"Eric, with the postoperative sequelae, was very weak and feeble, saying, "I had a little accident..."Hana finally noticed something unusual about her son, “What's wrong with you?"Eric lifted up the hem of his shirt, revealing the surgical scar on his lower back. "I had my kidney taken away by someone."Hana's pupils dilated, filled with fear. "How could this happen?"Eric closed his eyes in pain and said, "This matter is hard to put into words."Ingrid, who was skilled in calculations, immediately realized that the value of Eric's utilization had been discounted."You were not feeling well now, so will you b
Eric said, "Kassidy, please stop talking. I believe this wasn't done by you. Your character is just like your mother's, both of you are honest and kind people, who would never stoop to such despicable means."He lowered his head in shame and said, "I am getting what I deserved."Kassidy stared at Eric expressionlessly. It was strange, as once she had faced Nathan's myriad of turbulent and grand emotions, but now she was calm like dead ashes.In the end, she simply said, "I didn't mean to not save you. I truly didn't realize how difficult your situation was."With boundless hatred towards that man, Emma pleaded with Kassidy, "So now, could you please help us seek justice?" Despite the pleading tone, her voice was firm, tinged with a hint of reluctant inexperience.Kassidy stared at her coldly and said, "Why should I help you?"Emma was stunned, and then her little face turned bright red.Yeah, why did Kassidy save her?She shoul
Emma trembled as she asked, "Which place do you want?"The man's gaze fell on Eric's waist, “Kidney."Eric couldn't help but feel a chill run through his entire body, as if every nerve was connected to his heart. A sense of unbearable despair washed over him from his heart."I disagreed," Eric roared.The man looked at him with an increasingly cold gaze, “My son was sick. He was the same age as you all, but he developed kidney failure at such a young age. The doctor said he must have surgery as soon as possible, otherwise he won't survive this year. I won't let him die, so I must find a suitable kidney source for him... As long as he can live, I don't care about breaking the law..."Eric shouted impatiently, "You idiot, not everyone's kidney is suitable for him. If we give him our kidney, it could cause rejection, and your son would die even faster."Snap-The man slapped Eric in the face and menacingly said, "How dare you curse my so
The man's face darkened, and his eyes, filled with a predatory gaze, stared at Eric. "You wouldn't be deceiving me, would you? Eric, do you realize the consequences of deceiving me?"Eric was speechless, he was dumbfounded by the man's lack of intelligence. "My phone is in your hands, I didn't have time to tamper with it. Kassidy's phone number has always been stored in my phone. If you can't reach her, it's probably because her phone is currently with her."The man thought for a moment and felt that what he said made some sense. Then he took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll give you another fifteen minutes. If Kassidy doesn't call to confirm that you have some relationship with her, then I won't be polite to you."Time passed by minute by minute.Eric's heart grew more and more anxious. He didn't know if Kassidy would call back in such a short amount of time.As the moment of the clock was about to end, Eric's phone rang. Eric let out a sigh of
Eric looked at the screen, but Samuel's words kept echoing in his ears. Suddenly, he fell to his knees, covering his face with both hands, tears and rainwater streaming through his fingers.Yes, Isabella has always been well. She was strong and optimistic, born in adversity but with a heart to overcome obstacles. She was loyal to love and loyal to her family, so she could receive selfless love from her family.Isabella, who was so good, was looked down upon by him in his past life. Now, as he finds himself trapped in a quagmire and realizes the hardships Isabella went through, he discovers that he cannot be as good as her at all. Eric is overwhelmed with shame.He deeply realized that he was not worthy of Isabella.However, Eric soon emerged from the melancholy of lost love. He had to save Emma, and the longer he delayed, the greater the danger she faced.He got up and ran hard.This time, he couldn't help but run for a long ti
Thea suddenly touched her face and said, "Your mother was young and still had her charm. If she had married a middle-aged man who was a good match for her, they could have built a marriage together. Maybe they could have lived a comfortable and peaceful life. But your mother insisted on flattering William and indulging in unrealistic dreams. In the end, she lost both her dignity and her wealth.""Ingrid, remember my words well: Be down-to-earth and work hard in life. Don't try to take shortcuts, as those who seek to gain without effort will not have a good outcome.""By the way, also tell Eric these words."Thea finished speaking and left gracefully.Little did she know, Eric, hiding in the stairwell, understood her words perfectly. He was now caught in a dilemma: a grounded life?Can he still reach the height of his past life?After Hana was discharged from the hospital, faced with a large amount of compensation money, she had no choice but
Hana was so angry that she trembled all over, "I never expected you rich people to be so unreasonable and heartless."Olivia laughed in anger, "I never expected you poor people to stoop so low in your desperate attempts to climb the social ladder. Even resorting to using your own uterus. Oh, not all poor people are as spineless as you, my sister Thea has a lot of pride."Hana took a desperate measure, treating the dead horse as if it were alive, and said, "If William is not willing to take responsibility, then I will accuse him of negligence.""Oh, so you finally reveal your true colors, huh? If you have the guts, go ahead and sue. Do you have any evidence? If you do, bring it out immediately, and we will register this child's household registration right away. If you don't have any evidence, it's not you suing him, but us suing you for damaging William's reputation."Hana couldn't argue with Olivia and left in a huff.Olivia continued to playfully
Hana panicked, "William, I was just momentarily anxious and spoke without thinking. Please don't be angry, I won't say these nonsense words again in the future."William was exhausted and said, "Let it go."The other side.Hana heard the busy tone coming from her phone, and her face froze. She looked helplessly at the pair of children next to her and said with great disappointment, "He wants me to hit this child? Just because I said bad things about her daughter being selfish and self-centered?"Eric frowned, deeply experiencing the despair of having a teammate who was a liability. He weakly retorted, "How many times have I told you that William is obsessed with spoiling girls? If you're with her, the stepmother will have to treat you better than your own mother. But you foolishly want to compete for favor with Jade."Hana held her son's hand, tears welling up in her eyes. "Son, can you help me? How can I change his mind? I don't want to terminate
